Huxley and Kevmath on the Rail

Kevin Mathers

Phillip Huxley jammed first to act for what appeared to be 42,000 and Dara O’Kearney in the small blind asked for a count, then reshoved to isolate.

Huxley had the :::Kd:::Qh and O’Kearney tabled :::Ac:::Kh. On the :::As:::9s:::5d flop, Huxley knocked on the table with the words "good hand" before grabbing his belongings. The Brit was drawing dead on the :::3h turn, which made the :::4c river a formality.

Kevin Mathers, to most simply known by his online nickname "Kevmath" as the ultimate source for all things poker on social media, also busted shortly after. He got it in with the :::Ah{10d} and Richard O’Neill dealt the final blow with :::Ac:::Qs. O’Neill flopped a queen and Mathers missed out on a gutshot to bust just before the blinds went up.

Richard O’Neill 165,000 59,300
Dara O’Kearney 130,000 64,100
Phillip Huxley 0 -26,300
Kevin Mathers 0 -55,000
